I pray she pulls it off. I initially predicted her doing 5-7 weeks at #1, but 10 weeks would be just as lovely. I always like it when an artist scores their first chart-topper and it has that kind of longevity. |

Here's a relevant tidbit: I'm shocked to learn Lil Wayne is 36 years old. Thought he was pushing 50. Damn he looks old. Yeah, his career started pretty early. I remember the talk back when Nicki signed to Young Money was that she was the same age as her label boss, lol. |

TRAVIS deserves it. Drake has gotten a million weeks at number 1 with average songs whilst Travis has been putting out great music with little recognition for 5+ years and inspired a generation of young rappers.

I’m not a huge fan of Travis, but newer artists such as Lil Skies and Trippie Redd have mentioned him as an influence in interviews

Some of you just come on here and say wild things, lmao. - many new school rappers cite him as an influence on their music - further revolutionised the use of auto-tune in rap music - has worked with the likes of Drake, Kanye and Jay Z before even hitting the charts - not only that but he has production credits on Yeezus, Magna Carter Holy Grail, ANTI, If You're Reading This It's Too Late & Culture 2 do a little fucking research before you talk about things you don't understand |

Is Spotify not getting any backlash for promoting the 6ix9ine songs on several of their biggest playlists?

I have known about Travis Scott longer than you probably have. I knew him when he still had his hair and didn't have any braids, before he signed to GOOD Music as a producer and before he even started to make music as a proper artist, so, yes, I do know of Travis Scott. Also, I should probably have clarified that when you said "influence," I was thinking influence in terms of the sound of rap. Very few rappers have actually influenced the sound of rap. In the past 10 years, I can only give that credit to Kid Cudi, Kanye West and then Drake. Whether artists say they've been influenced by these artists or not, loads of rappers have taken their "sound" and run with it, the latest being Drake and how melody is now largely prevalent in mainstream rap music. Even Kendrick hasn't influenced the sound of rap. He does his thing, but nobody really follows or tries to make his kind of music, do you get what I mean? |

Are you kidding me? I haven't posted up to 10 times in the past three weeks and on several of those posts, I agreed with someone else's opinion about something and someone quoted me and said I complain a lot and I should shut up. I can't count the number of times I've stated my opinion about a thing and several people have quoted that opinion vehemently disagreeing with it. I don't accuse those people of picking a fight with me, I just make a case of why I feel my opinion is the right one and if they still don't agree with me, we agree to disagree and I keep it moving. If you really peeped my posts like you're insinuating you do with these quotes, you would know that. |

Some of you in this thread need to get out of your feelings. We're not allowed to quote people anymore? We're meant to agree with everything everyone says? I don't understand. I agree with someone, I get quoted and get accused of complaining too much. I disagree with someone, I get quoted and get accused of picking fights, what the hell?

If you really peeped my posts like you're insinuating you do with these quotes, you would know that. Oh dear. I'll show you a few examples of you picking a fight, for next to no reason: TRAVIS deserves it. Drake has gotten a million weeks at number 1 with average songs whilst Travis has been putting out great music with little recognition for 5+ years and inspired a generation of young rappers. Huh? Who exactly has Travis influenced? Some of you just come on here and say wild things, lmao. Not the first time successful artists have helped out un-credited on other hits. The reasons I am sure vary. But I doubt none were worried about the glory of a #1 or chart points or anything of that nature. because Drake has scored other hits this year that are bigger and Nonstop is just as big a hit as Sicko Mode plus he has other top 10 songs he never received credit for (examples are his appearances on songs like Every Girl where the credited artist is "Young Money"). Travis didn't even give the people who appeared on his album writing credit or feature credit and it's not just Drake. People can discuss why that is without being labeled as pressed or being dismissed. Maybe Drake doesn’t want to be credited? Every week you harp on the same point over and over again without ever thinking that maybe there’s a reason why Drake isn’t included in the credit? He’s not listed there. Complaining on here every week isn’t going to change that. Phone their respective management team and call Billboard and Actually. Find. Out. Why wouldn't Drake want to be credited? Travis is the one who didn't credit ANYONE on his album. Also, I'm not complaining, someone else brought up the point and I added to that point. Relax. I really don't get him/his team or whatever...You want your song to be #1 obv (remix, discounting, Drake feature on the mv), but YOU DON'T WANT TO CREDIT DRAKE? I'm already tired of complaining about him not crediting Drake. Drake is a huge reason why the song is so successful. His parts of the song are the most popular/recognizable parts. He even spends more time on the song than Travis, but crediting him is impossible? Even if he didn't want to do it in the week the album dropped for "asthetic" purposes, it's been months now. Maybe he just likes seeing his name alone up there, but Drake's team should have also pushed for him to be credited. It'll be interesting to see if he can score another hit like this without Drake's assistance. It's probably technically IMF, but it's one of the smaller ones in recent years. It's longevity was pretty poor and the meme made it get old faster than the usual hit, which probably doesn't help it's case... but I guess the numbers still back it up. Not "guess" or "probably" when the numbers back it up and it was the hottest song this Summer. You can say you didn't like it or you preferred another song, but Songs of the Summer aren't required to last through the Summer into the Fall. One Dance also did 10 weeks at #1 even though it's run started much earlier. By the time the Summer of 2016 was rounding up, it wasn't the #1 song anymore, but even beyond numbers, you knew it was the song that defined the Summer that year. IMF was the song most people played the most during THE SUMMER, which is what matters here. That song was everywhere you went in the US during the Summer. Clubs, radio, BBQ's, blasting out of randoms cars, etc. It did 10 weeks at #1 and came just in time for the Summer. It was enough to reach #1 on Billboard's Song of the Summer chart by the end of the Summer, too and that just further validated it. Yes Ariana! The game is truly changing, big streaming #'s don't belong to only hip hop (and Ed Sheeran) any more! Lmao, relax. This is a one-off case. As much as Ariana, Camilla and Dua are streaming forces in their own rights, they don't usually pull in massive streams right away like Ariana is doing right now. I'm hoping the success of this Ariana single encourages more pop fans to focus on streaming the songs their favourite artists release right away as opposed to just complaining about hip-hop's dominance. This particular song is doing well because it's become like a meme on social media. More and more people are finding about it on social media and so it's streams keep rising. Should rise for about another week before it stalls and starts dipping, much like In My Feelings did when it peaked. But still, great achievement for Ariana. She more than deserves it. Post Malone isn't a rapper but it's still hip hop imo. There are artists who fit this category, Nate Dogg being the most obvious example No, he isn't. How is he hip-hop when he vehemently denies hip-hop any chance he gets? He constantly puts the genre down. He's said several times that he's not a rapper and doesn't consider himself one, yet he always maintains close proximity to certain elements of the genre: the themes he croons about, using cadences rappers primarily use, constantly featuring black rap artists, etc. The article I posted was meant to be scathing because it's an OP-ed from a writer who obviously doesn't appreciate Post Malone, but it doesn't make his criticisms any less valid. I've always felt the exact same way about Post Malone - the writer just put it into the right words. But like I said earlier, I appreciate certain Post Malone songs for what they are. He comes up with nice melodies and hooks, but that's really it for me. You even said yourself: Sorry if I detailed the thread. You and djkelly would make great friends based on how pressed you are over every. little. thing. Sit down. |

Mayman funny enough, the people I quoted responded back to me and never saw it as me picking a fight. I apologized for derailing the thread because those discussions ran on and on and I knew some people just wanted to discuss the charts. Thanks for taking the effort to go back and come with your receipts. Funny thing about this is that I didn't even quote you. You quoted me saying I pick fights meanwhile the person I actually quoted responded back to me with facts and I quoted them back clarifying that I thought of "influence" a different way than they meant. Common mistake, but that's what discussion is and that's what I always try to do in these thread - discuss. We don't always have to agree on everything, but that shouldn't mean that the only time anyone should quote anyone should be when they agree with them. You seem like you've been holding this in for a long time. Whatever your issues are with me, I hope you deal with them. Lastly, lol at you telling me to "sit down." You people in this thread keep hurling thinly-veiled insults at me every time and I keep making a point to respond gracefully. One day, that'll end.

Most pointless arguing? Next time, if you have a problem with someone, report it to the staff.
Let's move on and hope that "thank u, next" blocks "SICKO MODE" this week.

Not sure what it is, it just comes off that way. Several people can agree with me on this one, many of the people who post in the Hot 100 threads, not necessarily just you, come off this way. If you would like this to discuss this further, please PM me. I would rather not discuss this anymore in this thread as, like you said, people want to discuss the charts.

divine actually inspired me to become a master chef with this statement: Remember when Drake was on every playlist that existed on the front page of Spotify? Seems legit. Are you insinuating that he needed those playlist placements to pull the streams he pulled? Also, in a lot of those playlists, he didn't have any actual songs IN the playlists, just his pictures on them, but keep cooking. But anyways back to the charts, High Hopes look to be #1 at pop by around Tuesday, unfortunately it's dropped off the AC chart due to the Christmas music but would love to see it make the YE top 10. It's starting to look like 2019 will be the return of pop music, after late 2016 til now was dominated by mumble rap and some r&b. Chainsmokers this is the time for Closer v2. Charts are released this coming Friday correct? |

You've made your point quoting me, let's just move on. |

I hope Pop does make a comeback. There are several Pop singers that I enjoy now and as much as I enjoy watching hip-hop dominate, I can admit that the charts will become boring if it continues that way. |
